Got an XP CD, slipstreamed in XP SP2 and also the SATA drivers I need (for panasonic CF-19K laptop).

Which "SATA driver" did you integrate and which of the listed Controllers did you enable?

Was I supposed to select text mode for all the SATA drivers or PNP mode? There was an oemsetup.info file so does this mean they are text mode?

All textmode drivers usable for Windows XP contain a file named TXTSETUP.OEM.

Anyway, install is still getting halfway and then failing with STOP B7 (Unrecognised boot device) as if it still cant see the SATA HD?

You obviously have integrated the wrong driver or checked the wrong SATA AHCI/RAID Controller while integrating it.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?

You either took the wrong driver or did not check the appropriate Controller.

It is impossible to give you any advice unless you give us some details regarding your mainboard/notebook (vendor, name, chipset and Southbridge chip) and the textmode driver you have integrated (vendor and version).

Actually, do I still need to press F6 or just let it carry on?

No, if you have integrated the driver, you should not press F6 when prompted. Otherwise Windows Setup will not find the path to the needed textmode driver.

Still the same. Goes all the way though the install and then says starting windows and then BSOD STOP 7B.

So your hdd has been detected by Windows Setup and you could choose the partition where you want to get XP installed? If yes, you obviously have integrated the correct textmode driver and enabled the suitable Intel SATA Controller.

Now to your BSOD: If it happens at last reboot, you should try to reboot this time in safe mode (F8). You will see the detailed error message, if you hit F8 and choose the F8 option "Don't reboot at system failure".

Further questions:

1. Which options of nLite have you used and which drivers did you integrate besides the Intel textmode ones?

2. How much RAM does your system have?

3. Is there another hdd connected? If yes, did you check the "HARD DISK BOOT PRIORITY" BIOS settings?

No - sorry it hasnt gone all the way through the install. Its the first part of the install where it fails with BSOD so I dont think the HDD is deteched properly.

1. Service Pack, Drivers, and make iso. I've got an old XP disk, so slipstreamed SP2 into it. Only drivers I integrated were your textmode ones.

Trying again with a proper SP2 XP CD (rather than original XP and then slipstream in SP2).

You hopefully know, that the actual XP version is the one with integrated SP3. Why don't you slipstream SP3 instead of SP2?

Any reason why it wont work with XP SP2 though? I guess I could try my SP2 source and slipstream SP3 into it as well.

My downloaded driver file contains about 10 drivers. At the moment, in nlite I'm just selecting all of them. Should I be doing this? I assumed that the windows xp install would just find the right one.
